+# Console Control Strings
+
+A library of cross-platform tested terminal/console command strings for
+doing things like color and cursor positioning.  This is a subset of both
+ansi and vt100.  All control codes included work on both Windows & Unix-like
+OSes, except where noted.
+
+## Usage
+
+```js
+var consoleControl = require('console-control-strings')
+
+console.log(consoleControl.color('blue','bgRed', 'bold') + 'hi there' + consoleControl.color('reset'))
+process.stdout.write(consoleControl.goto(75, 10))
+```
+
+## Why Another?
+
+There are tons of libraries similar to this one.  I wanted one that was:
+
+1. Very clear about compatibility goals.
+2. Could emit, for instance, a start color code without an end one.
+3. Returned strings w/o writing to streams.
+4. Was not weighed down with other unrelated baggage.
+
+## Functions
+
+### var code = consoleControl.up(_num = 1_)
+
+Returns the escape sequence to move _num_ lines up.
+
+### var code = consoleControl.down(_num = 1_)
+
+Returns the escape sequence to move _num_ lines down.
+
+### var code = consoleControl.forward(_num = 1_)
+
+Returns the escape sequence to move _num_ lines righ.
+
+### var code = consoleControl.back(_num = 1_)
+
+Returns the escape sequence to move _num_ lines left.
+
+### var code = consoleControl.nextLine(_num = 1_)
+
+Returns the escape sequence to move _num_ lines down and to the beginning of
+the line.
+
+### var code = consoleControl.previousLine(_num = 1_)
+
+Returns the escape sequence to move _num_ lines up and to the beginning of
+the line.
+
+### var code = consoleControl.eraseData()
+
+Returns the escape sequence to erase everything from the current cursor
+position to the bottom right of the screen.  This is line based, so it
+erases the remainder of the current line and all following lines.
+
+### var code = consoleControl.eraseLine()
+
+Returns the escape sequence to erase to the end of the current line.
+
+### var code = consoleControl.goto(_x_, _y_)
+
+Returns the escape sequence to move the cursor to the designated position. 
+Note that the origin is _1, 1_ not _0, 0_.
+
+### var code = consoleControl.gotoSOL()
+
+Returns the escape sequence to move the cursor to the beginning of the
+current line. (That is, it returns a carriage return, `\r`.)
+
+### var code = consoleControl.hideCursor()
+
+Returns the escape sequence to hide the cursor.
+
+### var code = consoleControl.showCursor()
+
+Returns the escape sequence to show the cursor.
+
+### var code = consoleControl.color(_colors = []_)
+
+### var code = consoleControl.color(_color1_, _color2_, _…_, _colorn_)
+
+Returns the escape sequence to set the current terminal display attributes
+(mostly colors).  Arguments can either be a list of attributes or an array
+of attributes.  The difference between passing in an array or list of colors
+and calling `.color` separately for each one, is that in the former case a
+single escape sequence will be produced where as in the latter each change
+will have its own distinct escape sequence.  Each attribute can be one of:
+
+* Reset:
+  * **reset** – Reset all attributes to the terminal default.
+* Styles:
+  * **bold** – Display text as bold.  In some terminals this means using a
+    bold font, in others this means changing the color.  In some it means
+    both.
+  * **italic** – Display text as italic. This is not available in most Windows terminals.
+  * **underline** – Underline text. This is not available in most Windows Terminals.
+  * **inverse** – Invert the foreground and background colors.
+  * **stopBold** – Do not display text as bold.
+  * **stopItalic** – Do not display text as italic.
+  * **stopUnderline** – Do not underline text.
+  * **stopInverse** – Do not invert foreground and background.
+* Colors:
+  * **white**
+  * **black**
+  * **blue**
+  * **cyan**
+  * **green**
+  * **magenta**
+  * **red**
+  * **yellow**
+  * **grey** / **brightBlack**
+  * **brightRed**
+  * **brightGreen**
+  * **brightYellow**
+  * **brightBlue**
+  * **brightMagenta**
+  * **brightCyan**
+  * **brightWhite**
+* Background Colors:
+  * **bgWhite**
+  * **bgBlack**
+  * **bgBlue**
+  * **bgCyan**
+  * **bgGreen**
+  * **bgMagenta**
+  * **bgRed**
+  * **bgYellow**
+  * **bgGrey** / **bgBrightBlack**
+  * **bgBrightRed**
+  * **bgBrightGreen**
+  * **bgBrightYellow**
+  * **bgBrightBlue**
+  * **bgBrightMagenta**
+  * **bgBrightCyan**
+  * **bgBrightWhite**

+# copy-concurrently
+
+Copy files, directories and symlinks
+
+```
+const copy = require('copy-concurrently')
+copy('/path/to/thing', '/new/path/thing').then(() => {
+  // this is now copied
+}).catch(err => {
+  // oh noooo
+})
+```
+
+Copies files, directories and symlinks.  Ownership is maintained when
+running as root, permissions are always maintained.  On Windows, if symlinks
+are unavailable then junctions will be used.
+
+## PUBLIC INTERFACE
+
+### copy(from, to, [options]) → Promise
+
+Recursively copies `from` to `to` and resolves its promise when finished. 
+If `to` already exists then the promise will be rejected with an `EEXIST`
+error.
+
+Options are:
+
+* maxConcurrency – (Default: `1`) The maximum number of concurrent copies to do at once.
+* recurseWith - (Default: `copy.item`) The function to call on each file after recursing into a directory.
+* isWindows - (Default: `process.platform === 'win32'`) If true enables Windows symlink semantics. This requires
+  an extra `stat` to determine if the destination of a symlink is a file or directory. If symlinking a directory
+  fails then we'll try making a junction instead.
+
+Options can also include dependency injection:
+
+* Promise - (Default: `global.Promise`) The promise implementation to use, defaults to Node's.
+* fs - (Default: `require('fs')`) The filesystem module to use.  Can be used
+  to use `graceful-fs` or to inject a mock.
+* writeStreamAtomic - (Default: `require('fs-write-stream-atomic')`) The
+  implementation of `writeStreamAtomic` to use.  Used to inject a mock.
+* getuid - (Default: `process.getuid`) A function that returns the current UID. Used to inject a mock.
+
+## EXTENSION INTERFACE
+
+Ordinarily you'd only call `copy` above.  But it's possible to use it's
+component functions directly.  This is useful if, say, you're writing
+[move-concurently](https://npmjs.com/package/move-concurrently).
+
+### copy.file(from, to, options) → Promise
+
+Copies a ordinary file `from` to destination `to`.  Uses
+`fs-write-stream-atomic` to ensure that the file is entirely copied or not
+at all.
+
+Options are:
+
+* uid, gid - (Optional) If `getuid()` is `0` then this and gid will be used to
+  set the user and group of `to`.  If uid is present then gid must be too.
+* mode - (Optional) If set then `to` will have its perms set to `mode`.
+* fs - (Default: `require('fs')`) The filesystem module to use.  Can be used
+  to use `graceful-fs` or to inject a mock.
+* Promise - (Default: `global.Promise`) The promise implementation to use, defaults to Node's.
+* writeStreamAtomic - (Default `require('fs-write-stream-atomic')`) The
+  implementation of `writeStreamAtomic` to use.  Used to inject a mock.
+
+### copy.symlink(from, to, options) → Promise
+
+Copies a symlink `from` to destination `to`.  If on Windows then if
+symlinking fails, a junction will be used instead.
+
+Options are:
+
+* top - The top level the copy is being run from.  This is used to determine
+  if the symlink destination is within the set of files we're copying or
+  outside it.
+* fs - (Default: `require('fs')`) The filesystem module to use.  Can be used
+  to use `graceful-fs` or to inject a mock.
+* Promise - (Default: `global.Promise`) The promise implementation to use, defaults to Node's.
+* isWindows - (Default: `process.platform === 'win32'`) If true enables Windows symlink semantics. This requires
+  an extra `stat` to determine if the destination of a symlink is a file or directory. If symlinking a directory
+  fails then we'll try making a junction instead.
+
+### copy.recurse(from, to, options) → Promise
+
+Reads all of the files in directory `from` and adds them to the `queue`
+using `recurseWith` (by default `copy.item`).
+
+Options are:
+
+* queue - A [`run-queue`](https://npmjs.com/package/run-queue) object to add files found inside `from` to.
+* recurseWith - (Default: `copy.item`) The function to call on each file after recursing into a directory.
+* uid, gid - (Optional) If `getuid()` is `0` then this and gid will be used to
+  set the user and group of `to`.  If uid is present then gid must be too.
+* mode - (Optional) If set then `to` will have its perms set to `mode`.
+* fs - (Default: `require('fs')`) The filesystem module to use.  Can be used
+  to use `graceful-fs` or to inject a mock.
+* getuid - (Default: `process.getuid`) A function that returns the current UID. Used to inject a mock.
+
+### copy.item(from, to, options) → Promise
+
+Copies some kind of `from` to destination `to`.  This looks at the filetype
+and calls `copy.file`, `copy.symlink` or `copy.recurse` as appropriate.
+
+Symlink copies are queued with a priority such that they happen after all
+file and directory copies as you can't create a junction on windows to a
+file that doesn't exist yet.
+
+Options are:
+
+* top - The top level the copy is being run from.  This is used to determine
+  if the symlink destination is within the set of files we're copying or
+  outside it.
+* queue - The [`run-queue`](https://npmjs.com/package/run-queue) object to
+  pass to `copy.recurse` if `from` is a directory.
+* recurseWith - (Default: `copy.item`) The function to call on each file after recursing into a directory.
+* uid, gid - (Optional) If `getuid()` is `0` then this and gid will be used to
+  set the user and group of `to`.  If uid is present then gid must be too.
+* mode - (Optional) If set then `to` will have its perms set to `mode`.
+* fs - (Default: `require('fs')`) The filesystem module to use.  Can be used
+  to use `graceful-fs` or to inject a mock.

+# move-concurrently
+
+Move files and directories.
+
+```
+const move = require('move-concurrently')
+move('/path/to/thing', '/new/path/thing'), err => {
+  if (err) throw err
+  // thing is now moved!
+})
+```
+
+Uses `rename` to move things as fast as possible.
+
+If you `move` across devices or on filesystems that don't support renaming
+large directories.  That is, situations that result in `rename` returning
+the `EXDEV` error, then `move` will fallback to copy + delete.
+
+When recursively copying directories it will first try to rename the
+contents before falling back to copying.  While this will be slightly slower
+in true cross-device scenarios, it is MUCH faster in cases where the
+filesystem can't handle directory renames.
+
+When copying ownership is maintained when running as root.  Permissions are
+always maintained.  On Windows, if symlinks are unavailable then junctions
+will be used.
+
+## INTERFACE
+
+### move(from, to, options) → Promise
+
+Recursively moves `from` to `to` and resolves its promise when finished.
+If `to` already exists then the promise will be rejected with an `EEXIST`
+error.
+
+Starts by trying to rename `from` to `to`.
+
+Options are:
+
+* maxConcurrency – (Default: `1`) The maximum number of concurrent copies to do at once.
+* isWindows - (Default: `process.platform === 'win32'`) If true enables Windows symlink semantics. This requires
+  an extra `stat` to determine if the destination of a symlink is a file or directory. If symlinking a directory
+  fails then we'll try making a junction instead.
+
+Options can also include dependency injection:
+
+* Promise - (Default: `global.Promise`) The promise implementation to use, defaults to Node's.
+* fs - (Default: `require('fs')`) The filesystem module to use.  Can be used
+  to use `graceful-fs` or to inject a mock.
+* writeStreamAtomic - (Default: `require('fs-write-stream-atomic')`) The
+  implementation of `writeStreamAtomic` to use.  Used to inject a mock.
+* getuid - (Default: `process.getuid`) A function that returns the current UID. Used to inject a mock.
